so I have 4 channels for the amp which means I can use bridge mode. but my question is on how do I wire the input and output so both modes works (but NOT at the same time)? (I will manually disconnect the input cables if they are unused so I don't have to use a input switcher) These are my...

Do I: connect it to ground but only on 1 side? (which side?) connect it to ground both sides? leave it unconnected? Thanks for the help.

so I'm mostly using lambskin pads but I'm finding they are perfect during winter but not so in summer/warm weather. so I'm thinking of getting the either velour or the micro suede with cooling gel brainwavz pads. thoughts? Thanks!

as above. my budget is around $200 to $500 USD. Thank you. PS. I don't really know much about IEMs but I've heard of brands Moondrop, Weston and Shure. EDIT1: I will be listening to various musical genres (from classical to psytrance and anything in between) EDIT2: Preferably with removable...

As above. The 2 DACs I have already has digital volume control which I believe are provided by the AKM/ESS chip. Thanks

as above. Thanks!

As above. I found someone selling this locally and since I can't afford the latest Gustard, I think this will do. Please include your setup info. Thanks a lot. Ps. Most likely I'll be using this almost exclusively on a speaker system but will use it on my headphones for now while the speaker...

it's this device: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004748200890.html?gatewayAdapt=4itemAdapt been trying to find feedback but cannot find any. Thanks

as above. on XMOS, I never needed drivers if all I wanted is to use WASAPI. Thank you.

this is my guess but need some expert input violet+grey on the primary black+yellow the secondary (My V+/V- supply uses center-tap for ground) Thanks

as above. The jacks will be used to connect a fully-differential/balanced preamp to an amp. I searched the net but can't find the answer. Thank you.

edit

I was looking at various opamp circuits and came across a small capacitor in parallel to the "input" resistor (R4). What would be its purpose? Thanks

as above. This the link to the device: https://www.audiophonics.fr/en/dac-and-interfaces-for-raspberry-pi/digital-interface-spdif-i2s-hdmi-lvds-raspberry-pi-3-4-p-15773.html Thanks

as above. Is there sonic benefits to doing such. (I'm guessing the remastering a recording to higher resolution is a more intensive process that just running some software to a redbook file and upsampling it to x) Thanks!

I see this acronym regularly but a google didn't help. Thank you.

as above. The files are all in FLAC extension. Thanks

1. Can the HDMI Port be configured as PCM? I don't have really high res music.i think the max is 24/192 2. Which clock? Accu or crystek? 3. Is 5v 1A supply enough? Thanks a lot.

as above. I searched the net but I cannot find the manual. Thanks

I am searching the forums and it seems there's no 1 place where people can search/read owner's feedback. A quick google search tells the feedback is all over the forums in other threads. (PS. I have an ulterior motive with creating this thread as I'm looking to buy 1 :D)

So I searched Aliexpress and I came across these 3 types of protectors. Which one would you recommend? The grey one is my preference for looks and it seems it stretches a bit to accomodate various width and can still be snug fit. The one with the blue/pink protector seems to be the most common...

Does the sound card add any coloration to the sound? Thanks in advance for help. PS. Any suggestion for a quality sound card? I found some on eBay but unsure if the make/model doesn't matter when using coaxial/optical.

I checked preferences but cannot see any option there. Thanks
